For the C-64

TO: RED TEAM LEADER
AT: FORTRESS
REGARDING: Green Forces Pending
Aggressive Action.
FROM: RED TEAM COMMANDER
WARNING! We have received advance
scout reports of verifiable enemy
activity in your area. We currently
estimate that anywhere between 5 and
15 Battalions of Enemy Troops are
emplacing operations in the ruins of
Civilian Buildings opposite the wall
of Red Team Fortress. We are only able
to provide you with four boxes of
Ammunition at this time, as we have to
conserve our own supply. You are to
hold the fortress at all costs.
This is a Direct Order. There can
be no withdrawal under Hostile Fire.
We expect that the Green Team will
begin their assault on your current
location at Daybreak tomorrow morning.
Expect Enemy incoming by 0800. It will
probably get pretty hairy down
there. Good Shooting...and Good Luck!
---END OF MESSAGE---
We've never published a really
gungho military game in Ahoy!, so I
figured it was time to do one. In this
short and sweet BASIC-ML hybrid
program, you fight off a communist
horde who are launching a massive
assault on your location.
As they appear in the windows of
the bombed out ruins on the other side
of the stone wall of your fortress,
you attempt to shoot them before they
can get a bead on the wall with their
LAWs (Light Antitank Weapons). If you
are too slow, they fire a rocket which
blows away a portion of the wall. The
resulting damage is registered on the
red bar at the bottom of the screen.
When this bar vanishes, the fortress
has been overrun.
The game uses a joystick in Port
2. The white cross represents your
aiming point. Center this on a soldier
as he appears in the window and press
the button. If you hold the trigger
down, the gun will fire continuously.
This is very unwise, however, because
you only have four boxes of ammo to
begin with, and when they are used up,
you're at the mercy of the GREEN
aggressors.
The game has four different attack
waves, with complete havoc breaking
loose on the fourth one. Soldiers will
be popping up in every window and
firing everything they've got left to
try to destroy the fortress. If you
manage to survive this last attack,
the RED army will be victorious over
the GREEN forces. Otherwise, you'll
end up reading propaganda and growing
potatoes.
The soldiers are worth 150 points
apiece, multiplied by the number of
the wave. Any score over 70,000 is
good.
It's very difficult to repel the
GREEN forces. They're mean. They're
hateful. They cross the street against
the light. They've got tons of overdue
library books. Just last week, they
killed Rambo by inserting bullets into
his body manually.
Good luck!
